BREAKING NEWS!1 february 2018
i will spare you the details, but after a
year of hopelessly suffering my quickly degenerating web host i have
decided to discontinue our collaboration - and spread the word: freewebs
sucks!

which means that with immediate effectcaptain beefheart electricitywill be flashing on at the new addressbeefheart.xyz
see you there, you're welcome...

this broadcast
is a part of the series of repeats of the VAN
OEKEL'S DISCOHOEK tv shows
from 1974. the original instalments of this alternate pop music program
still are vividly remembered over here as they were totally anarchistic
and 'not done' (to normal people). in fact it were plays
written by the locally (in)famous wim t.
schippers as satires on some popular dutch
top-40 programs.

unfortunately, time
fails to tell more about the clumsy anchor man
SJEF
VAN OEKEL = dolf brouwers, the very dry
accountant EVERT VAN DER PIK = jaap bar,
and all the things that intentionally went wrong during the shows: telephones
ringing, scenery tumbling down, hell's angels riding into the studio, turntables
at wrong speed or with the wrong record, etc., etc....

to us, the
most important artist who ever got lost in that chaos was captain beefheart! although he was in the middle of his unconditionally
guaranteed crisis and only could produce
terrible music, his performance in the program is an absolutely must see.
for his singing during the song UPON THE
MY-O-MY is so clearly played
back
- which was the usual trick by then - we'd better call it 'play beside'...

in this repeated showing
we (well, mainly dútch beefheartians - i'm sorry) also can find
out why and how don van vliet gets a trophy, and whistles 'the beatles' evergreen 'yesterday' ...
